BRUSSELS, March 5—
Management and unions at Sabena Belgian World Airlines have agreed to lay off 3,000 of the company's 11,000 workers in a plan to revitalize the national air carrier, a company official said. Most of the layoffs would be achieved through lowering the company's retirement age, said the official, who asked not to be named.

The layoffs are part of a reorganization plan that Sabena's chief executive, Pierre Godfroid, announced on Feb. 12.
